I have a pretty simple VI that communicates to a USB Keithley DMM. I have turned it into an executable for internal distribution but when I try to use the VI with a different DMM it does not work. The only way I can get it to work is to manually change the serial number, save it, and make a new executable. Is there a way to have LabVIEW recgonize any DMM regardless of the serial number?

If the serial number is in your VISA resource name then that is your problem. Why not use a VISA alias for the VISA resource? Then on the target machine you just use MAX (NI Measurment and Automation eXplorer) to set the VISA alias to match.

Keithley USB executable is serial number specific?

Solved!

I once had a similar issue with a R&S USB power meter. Wiring USB0::0x05E6::0x2100::* directly to the initialie.vi worked fine in my case.
